How to Train Your Dragon (out Jun 12) is a live action remake of the 2010 animated feature. While I adored the original, I wasn't as passionate here. Live action works against the film given heavy CGI is still required (for the dragons), the action scenes are too choppy/chaotic, and the dialogue delivery from the human characters is stiff. Grade: C+.
